m sprank Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 24 minutes ago, thefultonhow said: Both Carlisle and Harper's Ferry are a little cooler on average than Baltimore, but just an FYI for those contemplating camping, it can get pretty hot in this area in June, and it's not a dry heat either. Mid-80s or higher, and 90+% humidity, is likely. Personally, I'll be sleeping in my bed each night. 1.5 hours to Carlisle Fairgrounds. Elevation. Baltimore is sea level. Normally in June the humidly has not yet "kicked in" and is rather mild. July/August is more humid. Also to note, we do not have the urban issues that Baltimore has. People here leave their cars unlocked and running when they go into the grocery store. The car is waiting for them when they return with the same mileage on the odo as when they left it. I have forgotten to close the garage door all day and returned to a home untouched. Crime? I heard about a man who had a few too many and was cut off at the local bar about 3 years ago. He pulled a pistol on the female bartender. He has not been heard from since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Either location works for me. Harpers Ferry to Carlisle is 86 miles according to google, unless i typed in wrong location. Chattanooga, tn is my east coast starting point is 564 miles to harpers ferry. And 630 miles to Carlisle. Y'all changed the date for me. I can be a bit flexible on the location. @m sprank- I haven't forgotten your pm.

Up here in the northwest suburbs, we're already in the Piedmont like you are. Not sure what your exact elevation is, but based on https://en-us.topographic-map.com/ I am about 650 ft above sea level. It's cooler here year-round than it is at the Inner Harbor, but it usually still sucks in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The general rule is to invite people that you would vouch for and you're not worried about embarrassing you. That being said, I think the more the merrier and I'm actually planning on inviting my friend who's a Mustang driver. 1 muFreight.co A JDM Container Sharing Service from Japan to NYC Website | Instagram | Email Bessie II's Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobster rolls are a Maine thing. TBH most of the Inner Harbor is pretty shitty now. The pavilions are apparently only like 1/3 leased, and the management company is going bankrupt. Fells Point is a lot nicer.

Also, the squeegie boys are banned from like half the downtown corners now, and the speed cameras don't even ticket you until 12 over, and they're a $40 no-points ticket that nothing will actually happen if you don't pay You ever been to Catonsville or Ellicott City?

Enlight Posted February 9, 2023 Author Share Posted February 9, 2023 I've been wading through different campgrounds and many of them are RV oriented. One campground that ticked most of our (my) boxes so far is Camp Paradise Stream. It has creekside tent sites (with tree cover), glamping, and cabins. If any of you want to split a roof, they even have a lodge. I can shoot out an email and see what involved with setting aside a block of tent sites. 3 muFreight.co A JDM Container Sharing Service from Japan to NYC Website | Instagram | Email Bessie II's Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the squeegie boys are banned from like half the downtown corners now, and I mean if you're looking for good food options, Atlantic City has literally everything. Just stay on the Boardwalk or in the Casinos and you're fine. The Balmer squeegee kids are supposedly banned from certain intersections but it doesn’t stop them from being out there, the city pays them to stay away (also supposedly) they just don’t hang out on Pratt St anymore. Also avoid the Pulaski & Monument St as much as you possibly can if you like keeping your wheels/tires in tact, something about 24 hour tire shops along both roads doesn't sit well with me. My fiance told me on tuesday she was driving on Pratt with her 100 pound German Shepherd in the back seat & one of the squeegee kids tried taunting the GSD. He immediately went ballistic & spooked the squeegee kid, good downtown, harbor & Fed Hill aren't bad but they're also not great with all the homeless & the city's become so incompetent with trash pickup the streets are always littered....when we go out we go to Canton, Fells or Hampden (like everyone else) Quote the speed cameras don't even ticket you until 12 over, and they're a $40 no-points ticket that nothing will actually happen if you don't pay yeah but it's honestly enough to make everyone around you drive the speed limit or slower which in itself is annoying. In New Jersey we have an unspoken rule, if the speed limit's 65 and we're all doing 80+ they aren't gonna pull us over and it's wonderful Quote You ever been to Catonsville or Ellicott City? They have some nice old-town sections (although Ellicott City is technically in Howard County... But the old town is right across the line from Baltimore County). Catonsville is basically Rosedale West E.C. Is nice but like you said, HoCo. My soon to be in laws live in MoCo, just let me judge you from their ivory towers mr.

Looking like camping site outside of Carlisle PA, dude. You in? I'll also start a parallel thread later today @Enlight just for laughs as mentioned earlier. See what the long repair and maintenance lists are for a bunch of old-ass Subies to get clodged together well enough to survive a road trip and maybe track day... Curious if the oldest thing to come along will be 4th Gen. I know we're the most vocal on the forum, but I still kind of miss my '02 Outback, for example.
